      Employer Description Guillermo J. Tearney, M.D., Ph.D. Tearney Lab – Wellman Center for Photomedicine Massachusetts General Hospital Until recently, visualizing the architectural and cellular morphology of human tissue has required histopathological examination. Samples would be excised from the patient, processed, sectioned, stained and viewed under a microscope. In addition to being invasive, time consuming and costly, the static nature of conventional pathology prohibits the study of biological dynamics and function. The Tearney Laboratory at Massachusetts General Hospital has led the way in transforming the current diagnostic paradigm through the invention and translation of new noninvasive, high-resolution optical imaging modalities ...

      A review of low-cost and portable optical coherence tomography

      Optical coherence tomography (OCT) is a powerful optical imaging technique capable of visualizing the internal structure of biological tissues at near cellular resolution. For years, OCT has been regarded as the standard of care in ophthalmology, acting as an invaluable tool for the assessment of retinal pathology. However, the costly nature of most current commercial OCT systems has limited its general accessibility, especially in low-resource environments. It is therefore timely to review the development of low-cost OCT systems as a route for applying this technology to population-scale disease screening. Low-cost, portable and easy to use OCT systems will be essential ...

      Microparticle-Based Biochemical Sensing Using Optical Coherence Tomography and Deep Learning

      Advancing continuous health monitoring beyond vital signs to biochemistry will revolutionize personalized medicine. Herein, we report a biosensing platform to achieve remote biochemical monitoring using microparticle-based biosensors and optical coherence tomography (OCT). Stimuli-responsive, polymeric microparticles were designed to serve as freely dispersible biorecognition units, wherein binding with a target biochemical induces volumetric changes of the microparticle. Analytical approaches to detect these submicron changes in 3D using OCT were devised by modeling the microparticle as an optical cavity, enabling estimations far below the resolution of the OCT system. As a proof of concept, we demonstrated the 3D spatiotemporal monitoring of glucose-responsive ...

      4-D Imaging of Beating Tissues using Optical Coherence Tomography

      An imaging technique which reconstructs structure and flow in tissue with repetitive motion was developed using Optical Coherence Tomography (OCT). The demonstrated technique is able to accurately image both host tissue and flow at different time points during a cyclic motion, such as a cardiac cycle. Using tissue-mimicking phantoms, a phase-sensitive spectral-domain OCT system was combined with a cyclic-motion simulator to demonstrate the feasibility of the method. 3-D flow information at different time points in the cyclical motion was reconstructed in the temporal domain thus generating the 4-D imaging of the target tissue. This method could expand OCT-based studies such ...

      Disease activation maps for subgingival dental calculus identification based on intelligent dental optical coherence tomography

      During the treatment of periodontitis, removal of dental calculus is essential but still tricky despite developments of several imaging modalities. In this research, we propose a novel approach to provide an intuitive guidance, to automatically detect the present of subgingival calculus, and to identify the site of the lesion in optical coherence tomography images based on convolutional neural network model and the class activation maps technique. Our result shows good visualizations of dental calculus both in B‐scan and in volumetric view. We believe the improvement can break down the technical barrier and finally facilitate the prevalence of dental optical ...

      Acute coronary syndrome demonstrating plaque rupture in calcified plaque visualized by optical coherence tomography and near-infrared spectroscopy combined with intravascular ultrasound

      Optical coherence tomography (OCT) can visualize calcification of the coronary plaque as a low-intensity lesion with sharp borders. However, residual lipid tissue inside the calcification could pose a problem in plaque evaluation by OCT. We present a case of acute coronary syndrome (ACS) demonstrating plaque rupture in the calcified plaque. In this case, OCT demonstrated a cavity suspected to represent rupture in the calcified plaque and near-infrared spectroscopy revealed a lipid component behind the calcified plaque. Although calcified plaque is not considered a reason for ACS except for calcified nodules, residual lipid tissue inside the calcification might cause ACS if ...

      Utilization of Optical Coherence Tomography to Assess Coronary Vessel Constriction after Ablation

      Epicardial ablations are being utilized as alternative techniques to the current endocardial procedures. An epicardial approach offers some advantages, especially when treating ventricular arrhythmias, e.g., those that have epicardial or transmural sites of origin. However the potential collateral damage from these applied myocardial surface ablations has not been fully explored. In order to better visualize and understand such effects on acute coronary functioning, we have employed intracoronary optical coherence tomography (OCT) of ablated cardiac tissues. Ex-vivo swine hearts were reanimated utilizing Visible Heart® Laboratories methodologies, then the midsection of the LAD was anatomically characterized via OCT before and after ...

      Influence of retinal microsecond pulse laser treatment in central serous chorioretinopathy: a short-term optical coherence tomography angiography study

      Background: Central serous chorioretinopathy (CSC) is a common macular condition characterized by detachment of the neuroretina and is a frequent cause of central vision loss in adults. Among the various therapeutic strategies, subthreshold microsecond pulsed laser (SML) treatment has become a useful option. Despite the suggested involvement of choroidal circulatory disturbances in CSC, effects of this treatment on macular microperfusion have not been fully evaluated yet. Herein, we report the impact of SML on retinal and choroidal microvascular flow using non-invasive optical coherence tomography (OCT) angiography (OCTA).

      Optical coherent tomography for the diagnostic of non-obstructive coronary artery myocardial infarction

      Funding Acknowledgements Type of funding sources: None. The widespread use of coronary angiography (CAG) in patients with acute coronary syndrome led to the understanding that in some patients myocardial infarction (MI) occurs against angiographically unchanged or slightly modified coronary arteries (CA). In such cases, the so-called "type 2 IM" is diagnosed in some patients, however, to determine the true cause of MI, a modern method of investigation such as optical coherence tomography (OCT) is needed to visualize the intima of the CA and detect a minimal atherosclerotic process. The purpose of the study was to establish the etiology of MI ...

      Capsule Network-based architectures for the segmentation of sub-retinal serous fluid in optical coherence tomography images of central serous chorioretinopathy

      Central serous chorioretinopathy (CSCR) is a chorioretinal disorder of the eye characterized by serous detachment of the neurosensory retina at the posterior pole of the eye. CSCR results from the accumulation of subretinal fluid (SRF) due to idiopathic defects at the level of the retinal pigment epithelial (RPE) that allows serous fluid from the choriocapillaris to diffuse into the subretinal space between RPE and neurosensory retinal layers. This condition is presently investigated by clinicians using invasive angiography or non-invasive optical coherence tomography (OCT) imaging. OCT images provide a representation of the fluid underlying the retina, and in the absence of ...

      Functional regulation of an outer retina hyporeflective band on optical coherence tomography images

      Human and animal retinal optical coherence tomography (OCT) images show a hyporeflective band (HB) between the photoreceptor tip and retinal pigment epithelium layers whose mechanisms are unclear. In mice, HB magnitude and the external limiting membrane-retinal pigment epithelium (ELM-RPE) thickness appear to be dependent on light exposure, which is known to alter photoreceptor mitochondria respiration. Here, we test the hypothesis that these two OCT biomarkers are linked to metabolic activity of the retina. Acetazolamide, which acidifies the subretinal space, had no significant impact on HB magnitude but produced ELM-RPE thinning. Mitochondrial stimulation with 2,4-dinitrophenol reduced both HB magnitude and ...
